Matt Giordano
Matt Giordano gives credit to an influential figure from his teenage years – his high school art teacher – for sparking within him the curiosity and tenacity that eventually led him to yoga.
That inquisitive and unrelenting spirit laid the foundation for Matt to begin a devoted yoga practice. When coupled with his passion to understand the physics and subtle alignment of the body, Matt’s dharma as a teacher came into focus.
In 2016, Matt created and founded an international school of yoga that focuses on community, growth and authentic teaching, and he hosts trainings each year out of his home in northwest Connecticut.

Celest Pereira
Celests biggest passion has been the human body since she was little. When she grew up she trained as a physio and have been passionately teaching optimal movement for 11 years. More recently I started studying neurology through Z-Health Performance, a company that teaches brain-based performance solutions.

Joa Gomez
Joa is an International yoga teacher (E-500RYT) and started his movement journey through athletics at age 7, a passion that continued over a decade competing nationally in Spain. His curiosity for self-exploration led him to Nepal & India on several trips where he studied with great teachers learning the tradition of Ashtanga, Vinyasa & Hatha Yoga. His fascination with human movement led him to train in Animal Flow, Primal Movement, Mobility, and the Ido Portal Method.
Joa believes strongly in the power of the mind, and how one perceives the world is a conscious decision. “Everything, and anything is possible, you just need to be willing to make it happen”

Maëva Boldron
Maëva Boldron was born in Paris, France. She discovered yoga at the age of 17 as she was dancing in Paris and soon after in very vibrant New York City where she moved to study Ballet and Modern dance at the prestigious Alvin Ailey School. Initially yoga was a way to rebalance her body and cross-train for her health. But very soon, deeper layers emerged.
As she was pursuing a dance career, yoga became a way to deeply listen to herself, to find peace within chaos, and to rise from dark times to light with the help of her mentors and teachers (Mathieu Boldron, Dharma Mittra, Jared McCann, and more). As her perspectives deepened, she decided to follow her brother, Mathieu, on a yogic journey and got her first certification 200RYT in Ashtanga-Vinyasa in Thailand in 2017 followed in 2019 by her 300RTY in Vinyasa and Yin in Sri Lanka.
Teaching in Paris and abroad, in festivals and workshops, Yoga Teacher Trainings, Maëva is known for her fluid and intricate way of sharing the practice. Continuously feeding and expanding her knowledge Maëva is still developing her movement and dance research.
